Whereas, Mr.. a. W. Wright in his
great generosity has made the delegates

of Corrections and Charities, who have
made the Wright House their home

refusing to receive any money consid-
Grafton for all the grand accommoda-
tiOn and polite attention enjoyed by
them at his model hotel therefore
Resolved, that we appreciate, more
than we can express, this boundless
hospitality.
That we recognize in this the deep
interest Mr.. Wright takes in all efforts
to uplift the fallen and care for the un-
fortunate.
That the large means, which through
his exertions he has accumulated, is
coupled with large heart which must
be and ever is reaching out to help his
fellows and encourage those engaged in
works Of love.
Unanimously adopted.

M. Editor:

| cannot let our late meeting pass
without expressing the satisfaction it
has given me. and | assure all the
members of the board. All these meet
ings have been successful. but the last
has been marked by very decided CO.
operation on the part of the citizens.
Not only has the attendance exceeded
that of previous meetings, but in every
way that we could ask our plans have
been carried out. BY the presence of
the Governor, the officials of the State
Institutions. and the writer's of the
papers. we feel that we have been able
to place our work in its important
features before the people of Alma and
the vicinity, yet no preparation on our
part alone could have secured this end.
The able generosity of Nj. Wright,
placing the excellent accommodations
Of the Wright House at our disposal,
and declining all compensation, was
as gratifying as it was unexpected. and
showed an appreciation of the work Of
which we can but be proud.
We trust that these meetings will
give in the college and the community,
a lasting interest in the penal and
pauper matters, an interest our board
Will always be ready to foster.
